However, a forecast for low IFR weather in that part of Maine led us to cancel it. I had no interest in flying one hour north only to be shut out of our destination by weather below minimums for the available instrument approach procedure. Still the better part of an hour away from home, weather conditions were concerning.

When flying through a high-pressure weather system, the same volume of air contains more molecules. The opposite is true for low-pressure weather systems. Obtain current weather data from an ATIS or local weather station for accurate calculations. Check NOTAMs and weather briefings for any density altitude advisories.

Flying to Oklahoma from New Jersey in my G36 Bonanza, I once encountered a mountain wave where the indicated airspeed changed from 92 knots to 164 knots without a single bump. Weather is not only “flying in the clouds,” it is a everything that happens in space. The milk churns and churns until it finds equilibrium.

I would prefer to be 5 or 10 knots slower than the barber pole (maximum indicated airspeed in a turbine airplane) or red line. GPS One of the scariest reports was from an ATC facility that was overwhelmed by high traffic volume, weather deviations, nearby special-use airspace and the added problem of GPS interference testing.

SmartView also provides the standard compass, attitude indicator, airspeed, and altitude scales. Integration with Honeywell’s Interactive Navigation provides information about traffic, airports, navigation aids, and weather. It links to Avidyne IFD series navigators to display ADS-B traffic, weather, and AHRS data on screen.

When controllers anticipate a delay, usually due to a high volume of traffic, weather, or both, pilots are usually issued a holding clearance. If the holding pattern assigned by ATC is charted, pilots are expected to hold as indicated. Charted holding procedure on the low altitude enroute chart with 5 mile legs specified.

Class C airports’ speed limits require aircraft within 4 Nautical Miles (NM) of the primary airport and below 2500 feet to maintain an Indicated Airspeed (IAS) of 200 knots or less. Note: VFR pilots can enter Class C airspace only if the weather meets certain minimum visibility and cloud clearance rules.

When controllers anticipate a delay at a clearance limit or fix, usually due to a high volume of traffic, weather, or both, pilots are usually issued a holding clearance. If the holding pattern assigned by ATC is charted, pilots are expected to hold as indicated.

These were divided into two main categories, prior maneuvering and weather upset. In most cases, some type of aerobatics with an increase in airspeed preceded loss of control. They reviewed certification limits, mechanical structure, airspeed instrumentation, and flutter analysis.

He frequently hosted visiting pilots, providing them with detailed briefings of the area and the weather. The CAPE index, a measure of convective energy and instability, was below 100 joules, indicating a very low probability of severe weather or thunderstorms. He was intimately familiar with it and the surrounding terrain.

Isn’t it interesting to know that based partly on measurements from weather balloons, you can predict the way the winds aloft are going to cause your plane to drift as you fly from point to point, and that you can correct for that as you fly? Winds on the surface, and winds at altitude: both concepts are covered in the nav-log lesson.
